1) The front interior is the original black leather, does anyone know what color the front carpet should be?

2)Do the numbers stamped on the fire wall indicate anything?

3) what is the estimated value of nice looking and good running 1937 model 1502 business limo.

Thank you for your information, honestly I think more like you said the vacuum does come off of the manifold and then over to the bottom of the fuel pump and from there up the fire wall to the vacuum motor. so the vacuum pump on the fuel pump must assist only.

When the weather gets warmer I will measure the vacuum pressure prior to entering the vacuum motor and if OK I'll give the vacuum oil a try. I have never serviced the motor, It makes sense things would get dried out. Thank you for leading me to the service bulletin for vacuum pumps.

I have a wiper motor that has been rebuilt several years ago but does not work at all. The vacuum derives from the vacuum part of the fuel pump and appears to be working.
With the engine running what should the vacuum read prior to going into the vacuum motor?

Being the car sits like most collectible cars do, how can I keep the vacuum motor working after having it rebuilt?

I have a 37 limo and though just that until when registering I was asked if I had the limo or business limo . I chose 1937 super eight B. I said that because a business purchased the car when new. I am not aware of any other distinction. If so please tell me.

Thank you,

Rick

Packard super 8 1502 limo. I just have the pullout switch in the center of the header for the windshield wipers. The microphone speaker is located under the left side on the dash and microphone with speaker on/off switch is in side pouch on right side of rear seat. My grandfather bought the car in 55 so I know is accurate.

Tanks for your kind words about my car. driving it in the natural was the best in so many ways. You can go on line and see a picture of the car in the movie ignore the driver "ME" THE CAR IS BETTER LOOKING. lol Search for- Packard Super Eight in the movie The Natural....hit search and scroll down until you find the heading. It's a lot easier than trying to see it in the movie.. I know

Best,

Rick

I have a 37 Packard limo and in the center of the roof is a vinyl area that is cut out, the top was like this when new. I have 4 questions:
1)Why is the roof not all metal?

2) What kind of maintenance is required for this area?
My grand father used a black top dressing

3) The top has been replaced should top dressing be used?

4) If so what and where can I get it?
